Looking for a Service Manual & IPL for a Stihl 029 Thanks

Thanks for the info. I was going to try and rebuild the splitter but when I put my parts list I need together I found it would cost more to rebuild. I called the supplier and he offered me another splitter that had been returned at a price I could not pass up. It even had a new warranty with it...

926TE Cub Cadet track drive snow blower. The Track came off one side. I loosened the ebolt adjuster but cannot get the axel to move to put the track back on. Any ideas?

👍 I understand. I've done that before.

Nice looking kitty kats but I'm not sure what this has to do with a Shindaiwa trimmer head???????

I just ordered the cover from your ebay post. Hate to buy the complete head when I only need the cover. Hopefully it will fit. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the reply. This is the package that I received. I am leery of reordering them because I cannot find any advertised with the dimensions posted. Any ideas of where I can get the correct one?

I have a Shindaiwa 375 LH Speed Feed trimmer head, (pn 78890-18001), that I need the cover for it. I bought a X472000012 cover from Amazon but it is too big in diameter. I also purchased a X472000070 and it would not fit although the diameter was the right size. The diameter of my trimmer...

Looking at the IPL I see an axle, 1128 080 6500, but I see no bushing. Short of tearing the housing apart is there anyway to determine if something is worn that would cause the eccentric run out?

Funny you mention the Marvel Mystery Oil as I did pour some in the plug hole last night and started it this morning. You say to leave it set for a couple of days so I will try that again and see what happens. If the Mystery Oil goes to the bottom end how would I clear it? I also have an 028...

First of all thanks to all who have replied to my thread. Unfortunate my saw does not have the plug for a decom valve. I totally agree with you that age becomes a factor because birthdays have caught up with me also. I don't think that is the problem though because even with it on the ground and...

I pulled the flywheel and the key and the slot are ok. The cylinder looks great and the top of the piston has very little carbon build up. The exhaust manifold is pretty free of carbon. I don't understand why this has started to become such a beast to pull the starter cord. I can pull it by...

I have been using Red Armour for a year or two. Wonder what it would do if I just put some on top of the piston? I will check the flywheel key when it quits raining.

036 Stihl chainsaw bought new years ago. Lately it has become a beast to start. I used to be able to drop start it. But now it will yank the cord out of your when you try to start it. The only way now that I can start it is to place it on the ground with my foot on the handle to hold it down...

Thanks for the replies on this post. Writing this for an update. This blower belonged to a friend and he told me to go with the aftermarket carb. The kit was actually $3.00 more than the aftermarket carb. I purchased a Motoall carb for $12 & change. This thing came with some extras, air filter...
